Builder Spotlight

Gaines

Builder statement: Gaines Home Building has been family-owned and operated since 1948. Now in our third generation, we specialize in home building and remodeling. All construction meetings and scheduling are done directly with the owners, who personally oversee all aspects of the firm. Any warranty issues are overseen directly by us.

How did you become involved in new home construction? I began my construction career at the age of 16 framing houses for my dad in the summer while on break from school. I began full time with the family business in June 1999. I have been around the construction sites my entire life.

What projects are you currently working on? We are building homes in The Meadows of Indian Lake in Hendersonville.

What are some interesting projects you have completed in the past few years? We built a 6,000-square-foot basement home on the lake in Hendersonville. The home was equipped with elevator, geo-thermal HVAC, two separate kitchens, and a home theater system.

What sets a new home apart from an existing home on the market? We allow our buyers the opportunity to make selections throughout the construction process: paint colors, cabinetry, flooring, brick, stone and more. Our models in The Meadows of Indian Lake have the latest paint colors and cabinet finishes pre-selected by a professional designer. We can design or add features to our floor plans to make it unique to you.
